The USWA vs GWF Feud Vol.1

From May 1992, Eddie Gilbert comes out during a Lauren Davenport interview unannounced. He talks about the USWA and how he went to the Global Wrestling Federation and won the World title. He also talks about the USWA open door policy and Jerry Lawler. This brings out Guy Coffey and Eddie Marlin. Tom Prichard comes out and challenges Eddie.

This is part 1 of a multi part series. Before the feuds with WWF and SMW, The USWA feuded with the Global Wrestling Federation from Dallas. Eddie Gilbert was fired/quit the GWF and brought the GWF title with him. Other guys featured in this feud was Bull Pain and Samantha, Steven Dane, Bert Prentice and Mike Samples as a Vince Mcmahon figure head character. It didn't last very long(only a couple months) because the head of the GWF, Max Andrews threatened to sue. Still this is rare stuff and pretty funny.

Quick question: was Ernie actually Jerry Lawler's personal security? I have never noticed the "King's Bodyguard" shirt before, but that makes me wonder.

@CSAlmanac Yes he was Jerry's personal bodyguard.He died in 1993

man I really like Dr. Tom but its pretty sad that the guy spent most of his career imitating Roddy Piper.He was really good on the stick I feel he would have been a bigger star if he would have been a little more like himself

[timmy8271b]

@REVENGEANCE206 I usually see Dr. Tom once a month and he still sounds like this. I don't think it's a imitation more than he is really Roddy Piper's bastard son.

I have loked everywhere for any GWF video's and its impossible to find any. Did any of their video library get released to buy? I know the promotion didn't last long, But I sure would like to see some of their vids, As always Thanks for posting.

@BlistardPussy The title tournments(North American and Light heavyweight) are out there is most Video trading circles. Sadly not a lof of the ESPN TV run is available. I'd love to see some of that shit like Chris Adams ripping off Rod Price's hair piece or the 1992 run which seems to have been booked by a crackhead.

@dasteelers75 He had his head shaved in 2004 on the air. Like McMahon, that was no rug lol.

@timmy8271b The infamous bungee jump match was available on YouTube just a few months ago. Now THAT was a five star match if ever there was one =P

this feud only existed in the USWA as the GWF ignored it.
